Oh boy...

Well I now officially believe I am HORRIBLE at blogging. I really should be better... I guess I will just put a few things down that are going on lately :

-I am still working at Hillcrest and loving it as always :)
-Casey and I are doing great.. I am a lucky girl. He puts up with me and all of my moodiness. Poor guy!
-I am patiently waiting to find out if I get into the Eled program! I have an interview next weekend, and then I should know a few weeks after that. CROSSING MY FINGERS! Me being my anal self, I had my application turned in the day after school started this semester. Ya, I know. I'm weird.
-I am enjoying school... well most of the time!~ Some days I really just want one of those days that I can do NOTHING and not feel guilty about it. Between school and work I never stop moving.
-I am taking my last math class this semester! I never thought I would get to this point! So far it's going well.. I just turned in my first exam, so we will see where my grade goes after that! I can only hope it's not bad!
-Casey got me all of the Grey's seasons for my birthday and well it is the best thing I could have ever gotten :) I'm obsessed with Grey's Anatomy haha.
-Spring Break is only 2 and a half weeks away! BAHHH!!! I am so ready for a break. It is needed.. i 'm not doing anything exciting as always, but still the break will be nice.
-I had an abscess. That wasn't fun at all. Spending the whole weekend at INSTACARE=yuck. And I look like a drug addict taking all of my medications.
-I am hoping to get a job being a nanny this summer... but we'll see I guess!

Well, there's the update. Hopefully I will stay more on top of this... at least I will post about getting into the program or not. I really hope I do cause if not, I kinda have no reason to go to school! HAHAHAHA. :)

Funny Story/ Updates

It's been quite a while since I have posted anything! I have been really busy with work and school. I am taking 14 credits and working 19 hours a week. Crazy right? I enjoy it most of the time though! 

Funny story... Yesterday I happened to experience the thing college students really hope doesn't happen to them. The alarm never goes off. Most days it wouldn't be a huge deal since I would just be going to class and I could find a way to get caught up, but this particular day I had a meeting with a professor and a math exam! I woke up at 8:58 naturally, had already missed my appointment with my professor, and had 2 minutes before my math exam started... Things I am thankful for as a result of this experience: 

-Heavenly Father must have had a role in this experience because I usually wouldn't wake up randomly at 8:58.. that was just pure luck!

-Casey being able to take me to my class so I was only 5 minutes late! Also having him tell me to breathe so I could focus on my test. 

-Being completely calm as I took the test and feeling great about it

-Having a professor who allowed me to reschedule an appointment with her (PHEW!)

-The fact that I got a 90 on my test! 

-The ability to laugh at the situation instead of break down and cry 

You have to love those little humbling experiences that Heavenly Father throws our way. I was really glad to have this experience though because it showed me a lot about myself. Most of the time I would have basically flipped a lid about what happened, but instead I just laughed. It was just a good day!!! 

In other news.....

Utah State played Texas A & M last weekend and only lost by 8! I don't care who you are, that is impressive!... and BYU lost.. ;) It was just a good weekend for football. 

We play SUU this weekend and it should be the first time we win a homecoming game since I started going to Utah State! 

I LOVE LIFE :) 

As summer comes to an end...

It's been a while since I have posted anything! Not many things have been going on in life, but school is coming up quickly!! I just figured I would post a little update about my life and the exciting things happening! 

1) Casey is moving to Logan TOMORROW! :) YAAAAA BUDDY! I'm way excited to have him here going to school with me!! We've been dating 6 weeks, and he is just amazing!

2) I passed the math placement test a few weeks ago! It took me 6 times, lots of prayers, and even fasting from my momma! I couldn't have done it without the help of everyone! I know it probably seems dumb to be excited about passing a math test, but I need to take this math class this semester so that I can get into the elementary education program at the right time! Definitely a blessing!

3) I got a new calling! I am the activities co-chair, and i'm pretty excited about it! I get to help plan all of the big activities for the ward this year. Quite the responsibility, but i'm ready for the challenge!

4) I went shopping with Mom, Grandma, Jelly, Carly, and Casey last weekend and got new clothes for school! Thanks grandma :) You're the best! I also tried on skinny jeans... I LOVE THEM! 

5) I get to go back to work soon! YAHOO! After a summer of being unemployed I am begging to work! I just love the kids at the school too, so I pretty much can't wait! I'm so excited i'm going in next week just to say hi to my teachers haha... obsessed? Maybe a little! 

6) I get to be in Pocatello for Jelly's birthday next weekend! it's been a few years since I have been able to do that... plus I get to hear about her first week in high school! AHHH she is growing up! 

7) I GET NEW ROOMIES ON SATURDAY!!!!! YAHOO!!!! I met one of them, and she was way fun, so I am thinkin it's gonna be a good year!!! 

Well I know there is more, but I can't think straight at the moment haha. There will be more posts to come i'm sure since life is going to kick into high gear soon!!!!!!! 

King Family Reunion :)

I got to spend the last week with Casey's family doing different activities :) It was so much fun! I love his family so much! 

Casey and I before we went to the Oqhirr Mountain Temple open house :)

Casey got me some lilies :) they are my favorite flower! 

Me shooting a gun for the first time :) Casey and Alex had to basically shoot it for me haha

EFY week 3

This is a little late because I have been gone for a week, but here are some EFY pictures from my last session! :) 

I hope they call me on a mission....

You would think I would be done sending missionaries out, but nope! My friend Chris is leaving to serve a mission in Singapore on Wednesday! His farewell was today, and it was great to see him one last time before he goes to serve the Lord for 2 years. Chris and I met at work in January and became best friends almost instantly. He is such a great guy, and I really wouldn't have made it through some of the days I had without him there to tell me it was all going to be alright!!  I love you Chris :) I'm so proud of you! 

Kisses for Elder Steele before he heads off to Singapore! 

This one is kinda gross, but oh well! 

"Let's just say there were fireworks!"

One of the many beautiful things about EFY is the fact that you make such great friends! There are these things called COW's (crushes of the week), and my COW this week was Richard! He danced with me at the dance and then asked me on a date. We went to my BC, Cami Jo's house for a triple date and it was so stinkin fun! I haven't had that much fun in a while! We had our hands tied together and made pizza and cookies. It was great! :) I LOVE BEING YOUNG! :)
Jake and Maddie attempted to make cookies and added too much water, so this cookie goop was the result!

Jake's newest invention.. the cookie pancake!
Me and Richard all tied together.. poor guy had to be tied to me for like 3 hours!

The beautiful pizza dough we made! :)
